I was at my mom's house today with Little Man. I wanted to give my husband some quiet time to himself, which he appreciated. My brother, his wife and their kids were also there. At one point we pulled out some old photo albums and started looking through them. Looking at pictures of myself from my college days was kind of interesting.
Back in the day I was a scrawny little gal. That was right around the time that the "waif" look was really popular. I was a waif, not necessarily by choice, but because that's how I was built back then. I was skinny with no boobs to speak of. It wasn't until I met my husband that I actually gained a few pounds. So now I'm a bit more curvy. I still have small boobs, the difference is I can now find bras and bathing suits that fit for the most part. I've always joked that my bra size is triple-HA...get it? Ha-Ha-Ha. I could stand to loose 10 pounds, but I'm not going to kill myself to do it. I'm much happier and healthier now than I was in my college days. Back then I also had really short hair. I had a boy haircut. At the time I loved it and it looked cute on me. These days I have a chin length "do" which has a softer look.
I remember about 6 months ago my mom and I were looking at a few pics of me from around the time I met my guy (11 years ago) and she said to me, "You've aged! Not that you look bad, but you look older." I said, "No shit Ma! That picture was taken 11 years ago. Of course I've changed. So have you."
So while looking at the photo albums today I realized something. Yes I have aged a bit. But that's not a bad thing.
